FROM WARRENS.

WAHRENs, IDAHO, Mar. II, 1887.
EDITOR PRESS The news of the an
nexation of north Idaho to Washington
rather took this part of the country by
surprise. We take it for granted that
the part of Idaho county south of Sal
mon river and east of Little Salmon is
left in Idaho territory. We find our
selves rather lonesome. We dislike to
have honors and Offices thrust upon us,
but, by Jove, if it must be done we will
try and size ourselves up to the
situation. The couple of hundred or so
Cinnamon here are a pretty good re-
source to fall back upon, and we can
maintain county organisation for
awhile. / have no doubt that the bal
ance of Idaho will soon go to Nevada.
There is no question that nine tenths
OF the people of the territory outside of
Boise city are strongly in favor of that
plan. A good deal can be said in favor
of 1t, far more than was ever thought of
or imagined in regard to Washington.
/ hear there is some stir on the outside
about the Alton district. You bet, the
mines are there. We have been snow
ed in from s to Is feet deep all over
this country, but the present warm
weather is making it git N. B. w.
p. s. Since writing it appears that
you fellows didn't get annexed after all !
How's that? And then to think that
we have done that heavy calculatin' for
nothing. You had better come in and

south fork. It's about the time of year

remember the great sage brush plateau

With water it will be the richest tract

will reclaim 10000 acres. The Idaho
and Oregon land improvement company
have twenty-four miles of ditch, and
will extend it six miles more this

have twelve mile canal below Boise.
The Sebree ditch, near Caldwell, will
be twenty-three miles long, and twenty
feet wide at bottom. 1t is on the north
side of the Boise river. Rates for water
will be one dollar per inch per annum.
Eight dollars secures perpetual use of
